Hi!
Ever since upgrading to 0.85.1, some clamav-milter
processes don't seem to know when to exit/go away. A 'ps
-aux' would show something like this:
15159 ?? Ss 0:00.30 (clamav-milter)
15160 ?? Ss 0:00.30 (clamav-milter)
15161 ?? Ss 0:00.30 (clamav-milter)
15162 ?? Ss 0:00.30 (clamav-milter)
......
up to the number of --max-children specified.
It would seem that the sendmail processes which started the
clamav-milter processes have long gone/exited but yet the
clamav-milter processes are hanging about.
Since I wasn't using the --external option. I thought that
was due to the recent hicupps of the 'internal mode'. So I
started things with:
--external --max-children=20 --dont-wait
Soon, I had 20 clamav-milter hanging around and new inbound
smtp connections were turned away.
I read from the man page that if SESSION hasn't been
enabled (by default,) I don't need the --max-children. So,
I tried:
--external --timeout=60
However, that didn't seem to help.
Most of the time it'll work. But it's the timed out
sendmail connections that would leave those clamav-milter
processes hanging about.
I'm running clamd 0.85.1 with clamav-milter 0.85 on FreeBSD
4.9.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers,
N.
